HOW TO: Print Your
Screen

The Print Screen button (as well as Scroll Lock and
Pause/Break) were carried over from the days of mainframe computer networking.
Back then, pressing the button would send the lines of text displayed on your
screen straight to your printer. This method worked nicely until the invention
of the graphical user interface.

To make Print Screen work you must save an image of what's
displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it
can be printed.

1.Maximize the window you'd like to capture.

2.To capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn
at the same time. To capture the entirescreen, just press Print Scrn.
